‘He was probably the most naturally talented person I've ever worked with.’ - Will Reid Dick (engineer on Jailbreak)

 

Philip Lynott: Renegade tells the story of the pioneering Irish musician from his early days in the Dublin music scene through this success with Thin Lizzy. 

 

Once mainstream success came his way with Jailbreak album, his musical thirst heightened. Renegade offers an insight into Lynott’s musical experimentation beyond the Thin Lizzy framework. His solo material, in addition to his recorded work with Thin Lizzy is often unfairly overlooked despite being possessed of lyrical depth, honesty and musical invention. 

 

From the slow burn of his rise with his beloved band to the unfortunate and unnecessary outcome of his short life, this book offers an essential biography of this remarkable musician.
